Energy Considerations in a Model of Nematode Sperm Crawling

In this paper we propose a mathematical model for nematode spermcell crawling. The model takes into account both force and energybalance in the process of lamellipodium protrusion and cellnucleus drag. It is shown that by specifying the (possiblyvariable) efficiency of the major sperm protein biomot...
